THE SLAUGHTER of eight young yeshiva students and the wounding of nine others by an Arab terrorist in Jerusalem last week was a cold-blooded act of evil. It is difficult to make sense of the depraved fanaticism of someone like Ala Abu Dhaim, who calmly entered the school's busy library, took three guns from a box, and sprayed the room with hundreds of bullets before finally being shot dead by an off-duty military officer and a student who heard the gunfire and came running.
Even more perverse than Abu Dhaim's massacre, however, was the behavior that followed it.
In Gaza, the news that unarmed Jewish kids had been gunned down while at study set off paroxysms of joy. Thousands of jubilant Palestinians whooped it up in Gaza's streets, firing guns in the air to celebrate and distributing candy to passersby. Television cameras recorded the revelry; you can see it for yourself on YouTube.
Hamas, the terror organization that controls Gaza, issued a statement applauding the bloodshed. "We bless the [Jerusalem] operation," it said. "It will not be the last."
Give Hamas this much: It makes no secret of its bloodlust. The same cannot be said of Fatah, the other main faction in the Palestinian Authority. Fatah is headed by PA President Mahmoud Abbas, whose polished spokesman, Saeb Erekat, was quick to assure journalists - in English, for Western consumption - that Abbas "reiterated his condemnation of all attacks that target civilians, whether they are Palestinians or Israelis."

Blackjack Pershing had the right idea on how to deal with this gutter juice.
The reason the drive by media neglected to mention this is because they don't want to show that guns in private hands can have a good/virtuous effect when somebody bursts in with a gun to kill everybody.
imagine that. some people were actually ARMED in a SCHOOL and able to take out a piece of human filth before more innocent life was lost.
TERRORISM-INFO.org.il - INTELLIGENCE AND INFORMATION CENTER (IICC): "Terrorist shooting at Yeshivat Mercaz Ha'Rav in Jerusalem leaves eight students dead. The terrorist who shot them was an Arab living in East Jerusalem who carried an Israeli identity card. The identity of the organization behind the attack is currently unknown." (PHOTO CAPTION: "Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV reporting the attack: "The action was excellent in every respect") (Al-Manar TV, March 6).") (March 9, 2008)
Why is it perverse?
The Palestinians are at war with Israel and seek the destruction of the State and the slaughter of the Jews who live there.
So, like any normal people, they hope for victory in their war, and they celebrate things which bring it closer.
What is perverse is failing to celebrate in the streets of Israel when IDF jets bomb Gaza, or when IDF soldiers attack Hezbollah in Lebanon.
That's not only perverse, it's suicidal.
So he sees little difference between the tactics of Israelis and Palestinians?
Has Israel ever targeted civilians?
Some folks would argue that any country that actually celebrates death and destruction probably wouldn't win many wars.
Go download a copy of "We're Gonna Have to Slap that Dirty Little Jap" (Carson Palmer Orchestra, 1942) and get back to us on that one.
Don’t get me wrong,I understand the sentiment...but I think it’s because you celebrate freedom rather than death and destruction,which of course would be visited upon those who threaten it.
WHAT WAS PERVERSE WAS THE REACTION AND COMMENTS BY THAT PEACE-AT-ANY-PRICE TRIO: Olmert, Bush, and Condi-Clueless:
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's reaction to last week's massacre of the innocents was to announce that he would "not give up on making a tremendous effort to take another significant, important, and dramatic step that might bring us to an opportunity for real reconciliation."
The Israeli Foreign Ministry spouted the same drivel: "These terrorists are trying to destroy the chances of peace," its spokesman said, "but we certainly will continue the peace talks." The White House chimed in too: "The most important thing is that the peace process continue and that the parties are committed to it."
“Give Hamas this much: It makes no secret of its bloodlust”
As does all of Islam - the Cult of Death. It cannot be said enough.
The comments of Hamas and PA President Abbas remind of that scene from the movie “Independence Day” when the President asks the aliens what they want from humans, the alien’s response was very simply “to die.”
